grey screen
Here is what happens to me:
- the machine is running with login "root";
after I've given the root password to connect
the screen became grey with no text except
the cursor of the mouse, and I can move it.
- with rlogin, from an other Workstation,I've
controlled the most functions from server:
they seem OK.
Which is the possible cause from this problem ?
(console ? , videoram? )
I'm sure it's not depend from screen because I've tested with an other one.
Thanks.

Re: grey screen
Are you login via VUE or CDE ? Check say in/var/dt/Xerrors and $HOME/.dt/startlog
What's changed ? has this always happened I'd also look into dr_dt output if you are using CDE and also if hostname resolution is working correctly.

Re: grey screen
This may cause corruption of key CDE filesets / date timestamps .
I'd run dr_dt and may suggest a re-install of the CDE filesets maybe necessary if the above is the case.

Re: grey screen
What you think about to kill the process 'dtlogin'? Will the CDE automatically restart?
I'm searching a solution with the minimal risc.
Maybe I don't need to re-install the CDE filesets.
With my best thanks.

Re: grey screen
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue] files
Yous system is unable to determine who it is and will not start up CDE unless it does.
If not using DNS, change the name of /etc/nsswitch.conf to /etc/nsswitch.conf.save
your hostname with correct IP then needs to be in the /etc/hosts file, which it probably is.
You might also have some terminals in /usr/dt/config/Xaccess, these all have to resolve in DNS if they exist in the table, the search quits on the first one that does not resolve.

Re: grey screen
I would precise: the DNS is configured but not running because I've stopped the Name server (named=0).
The sytem was working correctly along I've not set time backwards whilst CDE was running.
I'm searching a possibility to rerun the CDE without re-install the filesets ).

Re: grey screen
If the following is in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you are running DNS, it will go there first for lookups wheather you want it to or not.
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue] files
You can put
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue] dns
in the file and it will check hosts first and then DNS if it does not find it.
I've been in this situation before, or rename nsswitch.conf to something else.
I am the DNS guy for Hertz rent-a-car, I know of what I speak.

Re: grey screen
John is right. Even if you stop named and your /etc/nsswitch.conf file has host DNS, then it will go look in the the server specify in /etc/resolv.conf file.
